A new Standard, BS EN 13120:2009 (Internal Blinds – Performance Requirements Including Safety) will assist businesses in manufacturing and supplying products which are safe for consumer use.
As of 17th March 2014 all products manufactured by A1 Blinds will comply with the New Child Safety Laws BS EN 13120.
All blinds with operating cords or chains will be fitted above the height of 1.5 meters or be fitted with the appropriate Child Safety Device.
The steps we will take:
We will attach a warning notice to the product, the safety device and the packaging.
We will provide and fit a device to keep cords and chains or similar out of reach of children.
Where the sale is for “supply only” we will include instructions for fitting the blind, the safety device and its proper use.
Where the product requires a looped operating mechanism, we will provide a means to limit the risk by incorporating it into the design or by an appropriate device supplied with the product.
Advice to domestic customers:
Cords ending in a loop are particularly risky. Where possible operating cords, chains and tapes or similar should be kept short.
Cords should be kept out of the reach of children. Where possible replace cords with curtain or blind wands
A tension device can be used to pull the cord tight and secure it to the floor or wall
Never put a cot, bed, high chair or playpen near a window or patio door where a child can reach a curtain or blind cord
Keep sofas, chairs, tables, shelves or book cases away from windows to prevent children climbing up and reaching curtains or blind cords. People in charge of children are ultimately responsible for following the safety instructions provided by the manufacturer
Advice to Commercial customers:
If you have premises where children under the age of 42 months are present or likely to have access you must install blinds which are compliant with the child safety requirements of EN13120.
We believe this applies to all public buildings and the publicly accessible areas of all commercial buildings.
Yellow is associated with happiness, warmth, and mental clarity. It’s an energising shade that works wonders in kitchens or creative spaces.
Blue is calming and stabilising, making it ideal for bedrooms, bathrooms, or anywhere you want to unwind.
Green represents nature, growth, and balance. It’s shown to reduce stress and promote a sense of harmony — great for lounges or home offices.
Red stimulates energy and passion. A little goes a long way — perfect for accents in dining rooms or hallways.
Purple has long been linked to creativity and imagination, making it a great feature colour for bedrooms or reading nooks.
Interior designers also back this up: “The colours we surround ourselves with can have a profound effect on how we feel,” says interiors expert Karen Haller, author of The Little Book of Colour.
Room-by-Room Colour Inspiration
Want to boost your home’s feel-good factor? Here’s how to bring colour into every corner of your home:
Bedroom – Choose muted tones like dusty blue, soft lavender or sage green to promote rest and relaxation. Roman or roller blinds in these shades can soften morning light and set a calm tone for your day.
Living Room – This is your social hub, so introduce warm, welcoming tones like ochre, terracotta, or moss green. Vertical blinds or curtains in textured fabrics can add depth while introducing colour.
Kitchen – Uplift your energy with fresh colours like lemon yellow, mint green or vibrant coral. Try a bold roller blind to add instant personality without a full renovation.
Bathroom– Create a calming, spa-like atmosphere with soft blues, greens, or gentle greys. These soothing tones help you unwind and bring a fresh, airy feel to smaller spaces. Moisture-resistant roller blinds in these hues offer both privacy and serenity while standing up to humidity.
Commercial Spaces – Colour isn’t just for the home. We can help you bring the same energy and mood-boosting benefits into your commercial setting too. Whether it’s calming tones for a clinic, uplifting colours for a classroom, or modern hues for an office, our made-to-measure blinds can enhance productivity, atmosphere, and brand personality in any workspace.
Decorating With Colour – Without the Overwhelm
You don’t need to redecorate your whole home to feel the benefits of colour. Start small:
Swap neutral blinds for colourful alternatives.
Add cushions, artwork or rugs in your chosen palette.
Try a statement blind in a bold pattern as a design feature.
The key is to choose colours that make you feel good — not just what’s trending.
